I just want to sleep
Next to you
I just want to be held
Where the warmth is your touch
Wanting the cold to be our chilled skin
Needing you to drive away the shadows
However...I am solitary in my darkness
Hands reach out, not knowing how to calm
Unwittingly scaring already torn pieces
And the idea of you haunts me.
Not you, needing someone, not you
You hurt too much. Your light blinds and burns
Eternities settle into hearts long estranged
I am intimately acquainted with freezing to death on fire
And full emptinesses
And longing for a touch that heals
That chases all other thoughts away
Brings peace
And rest
I just want to sleep
